Camp at Bannockburn

On the 10th of February 2015, 19 members of the Room 8 Sparkly Destroyers set off for their 'Year 6' camp to Bannockburn, near Cromwell, in Central Otago.  They were accompanied by some other Year 6's from Room 9, several enthusiastic parents, a bus driver and two teachers.  The weather was perfect for the activities that were planned like sailing, kayaking, gold panning and rabbit spotting!  It was a fabulous time!  There were several highlights... the 'FEAR FACTOR' challenge organised by the parents, children conquering their fears on the ropes course and of course, the karoke on the way home.  There will be many special memories made and all children should be proud of their behaviour and the challenges they overcome.

Off to camp!
